What complete and utter codswallop.

Any government will be criticised by its opponents. The electorate will always complain about something.

The young voter gets old and wiser. They usually become more conservative as they age.

A centrist like you is happy to endure anything as long as no one makes a fuss.
That attitude is precisely the reason why this country has declined so far in one lifetime.

I think this is becoming your knee jerk reaction to anything WE says.

On his post, I agree with his first paragraph. People on here have commented that we are going against the trend of swinging right to "left" (if you can call them that?) while the rest of Europe swings the other way. However, you could equally argue that we were ahead of that curve given the nature of the party that took power in 2019.

There are a number of issues I have with the current "right" in this country, but we overwhelmingly elected a populist, nationalist right wing party on a mandate of curbing migration and getting Brexit done. They have been singularly incompetent at delivering on either. It is not their fault. The populist right is, in essence, innately low intellect and the scrapings of the barrel when it comes to prudent government. As Frankie Howard used to say, you can't mock the afflicted.

The Truss mini budget is just the obvious nadir of their mismanagement and the people have had enough. They will mainly vote Labour as the most effective way of ending this 5 year experiment, or (like most on here it would seem) vote Reform as they have not given up on those twin objectives.

True to the nature of parties like Reform, if they came to power they would operate at the level of most single issue, nationalist parties. That is, of the level of the outgoing Tories save with out their competence! If you think the Truss mini budget was bad, wait till Reform get their hands on the tiller.

It will be the same across Europe. A dream of effective border control and de facto ethnic cleansing through strict migration policy will be shattered by a party that causes economic downturn, a reduction in tax revenues and an inability to maintain essential services let alone fund this great purge of the migrant. People will realise what they ought to have seen but for the haze of hope. Populism = easy solutions for really difficult problems. If you want more money in your pocket, a better lifestyle and as close to optimal border control as is realistically possible, you would have been better off voting centrist right.

The problem is Europe needs to have their 5 years to personally feel that pain before that penny drops.
